Additional charges against Ohsweken man

Six Nations Police have laid additional charges against a 22-year-old Ohsweken man arrested last month for uttering threats of death or bodily harm, invitation to sexual touching, and breach of probation.

Police started an investigation on January 22, 2018 after three female victims ranging in ages from 14 to 21 reported threats and messages of a sexual nature made through Facebook and Instagram.

The additional charges include four counts of luring a child under the age of 16, and Six Nations Police say it’s not uncommon for victims to come forward when they see other victims have also gone to police.

Anyone with information regarding this or similar incidents are encouraged to contact Detective Cst. Priscilla Staats at Six Nations Police, by calling 519-445-4191. All calls are kept strictly confidential.

Bad weather and icy road conditions were contributing factors to a number of motor vehicle accidents recently, say Six Nations Police.

On Friday afternoon, the driver of a Mazda SUV lost control of his vehicle traveling westbound on Sixth Line Road. The vehicle entered the ditch and came to a rest on its roof, on the front lawn of a home near Tuscarora Road.

Charges were not laid, and the driver and female passenger were not injured.

On Saturday afternoon at about 1:00 p.m., a two-vehicle collision occurred on Sixth Line when a vehicle was turning into a driveway. There were no injuries to either driver, and while police say poor weather and road conditions were the cause of the accident, they are continuing their investigation and charges are pending.

On Sunday afternoon Six Nations Police discovered a blue 2018 Infiniti QX60 which had gone into a ditch and struck a utility pole on Third Line.

Police found tracks leading away from the scene, but were unable to locate the driver and are continuing to investigate.

On Monday morning a school bus slid on an icy roadway while turning around in the vicinity of Fourth Line and Cayuga Road, coming to rest in a ditch. No injuries were sustained by students or the driver.

On Saturday morning, a red Jeep traveling northbound on Chiefswood Road struck a vehicle stopped at a traffic light at Fourth Line.

The female victim was not injured, and her vehicle appeared undamaged, but reported the driver of the jeep appeared intoxicated and fled the scene in the Jeep.

Six Nations Police are looking for a native male in the 30-40 year age range.
